I downloaded 1.325 and have updated 1 of the boxes at home from 0.125.

I uninstalled 0.125 totally - keeping only the Activation Data. Afterwards I run the KAV removal tool and it said it couldn't find KAV or KIS. That's OK as I had uninstalled it previously without errors.

But I seem to remember that an older version of the removal tool used to remove some remnants - directories, registry entries -left behind even after a successfully uninstall.

BTW. version 1.325 looks good. No slowdowns so far. I'd be upgrading the rest of my home boxes next weekend.

Hi, there's a way to force the removal of the remaining stuff (take a look here). Anyway, if you didn't experience any errors while uninstalling, you don't need it at all.

Thanks, skywalker.

No. No problems at all. But the info in the linked article may come in handy for the next upgrades I'm planning to do.

Help - I've posted my problems on another thread. But now I'm in a position whereby I have no protection at all.

I've uninstalled Kaspersky Internet Security v.7.0 an have tried to install AVG (until I find what I want). But AGV says that I still have KIS on my system and recommends I get rid of it first.

I used the Start/Programs/Modify, Remove option. I've got Vista HP.

I've tried the removal tool but this says nothing found.

On the removal tool site it says:

If by some reasons the remove utility has not found the installed product in the OS and you are sure the product is installed and/or some modules still remain, then to skip product check, run the utility from the command prompt with the following syntax kavremover.exe [kav6 | kav7 | kis6 | kis7 | kav6fs | kav6wks]. For example if Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 was installed on your PC in this case the command will look the following way kavremover.exe kis7.

I haven't a clue what this means. Can someone explain please?

Drop the removaltool into your c drive (right in the root, not in a folder)

Go to start menu and click "run"

In the run box, type in cmd and click OK.

You will get a black cmd prompt box pop up.

In that box, type in cd\ and hit enter

The cmd line should now read C:\>

Now input the text exactly as shown in the image below. (kavremover.exe kis7) and hit enter.

Drop the removaltool into your c drive (right in the root, not in a folder)

Sorry - what does this mean please?

Sorry, let me be a bit clearer.

When you download the removal tool, download it into your C:\ drive, not "My Documents" or any other folder.

'Kavremover.exe' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

have you unpacked kavremover.exe from the zip file?

It's still a zipped file - does this matter?

OK so now it's still on my Desktop and when I try to copy to the C drive, there is nothing in the "size" column. I ignored this and continued again with the black box cm bit and still got the same message.

Try my instructions from the begining. It will work.

Could I not just put a link to this in the black box?

Running Kavremover from the command line as in "C:\Kavremover.exe Kis7" won't remove the activation data, right?
